DONE DEAL: Fulham confirm £11m signing of Leeds star Ross McCormack

The 27-year-old, who has signed a four-year contract at Craven Cottage, was the top scorer in the Championship last season after hitting 29 goals for Leeds.

Fulham confirmed the news via a statement on their website.

It read: "Fulham Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Ross McCormack from Leeds United for an undisclosed fee.

"The Scotland international, last season's top scorer in the Championship, has penned a four-year deal with the Whites, with the option of a further 12 months, potentially keeping him at the club until the summer of 2019."

Fulham had a £5m bid for McCormack turned down last month but have now succeeded with a much increased bid.

The £11m fee for McCormack would make him the second most expensive Scottish footballer of all time following James McCarthy's £13m move from Wigan to Everton in September last year.

West Ham failed in their bid to sign McCormack in January, while Newcastle, former club Cardiff, Norwich and Derby had also been linked with the player.

Cardiff are understood to be owed around 15 per cent of the transfer fee due to a sell-on clause.

McCormack signed a new four-year contract at Elland Road last summer, but is understood to have asked for a transfer on June 20 - the day after David Hockaday had been appointed as the club's new head coach.
